Hey you fellow bargain hunters. I've created a list of my favorite deals just for you. Some of these picks are simply fantastically good deals, and others are simply items that stand apart from their competition in unique ways.

If you're looking for the most featured phone on the market, take a serious look at the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL Smartphone from B&H Photo-Video. The hardware rests on good bones: a Snapdragon 810 Octa-Core processor with Adreno 430 GPU and 3GB of RAM. The gorgeous 5.7" 2560x1440 IPS AMOLED display is sharper than the iPhone 6s Plus, Apple's sharpest display (518ppi vs 401ppi pixel density). You get 32GB of built-in storage and MicroSD expansion up to 200GB, best-in-class 20 megapixel 4K camera, dual SIM capability (allows you to have two phone numbers and identities simultaneously), removable battery with 25 hours of talk time, and a USB Type C port (the new one) that can charge the phone to 50% in just 30 minutes. This is also the ONLY smartphone that runs Windows 10 OS!

This may very well be the lowest price we have ever seen for Dell's #1 best-selling desktop computer. If someone were to ask for my recommendation for a desktop, I would generally recommend a Core i5 desktop such as this. Among Intel processors, the Core i5 represents the best compromise of performance and value. And that's IF you were getting this desktop for, say, $450. At $350, this is an absolute steal. It's well configured right out of the box, with 4GB of memory, 500GB hard drive, wireless networking and gigabit ethernet options, and Windows 10 Pro. Surprisingly, you're not getting sloppy seconds either - this is a brand new, retail boxed computer with a full 1-year Dell warranty.

In the mornings, I need all the help I need to wake up on time. Neither my alarm clock nor my wife can reliably keep me from hitting the mental snooze button. The Philips Wake-Up Light from Amazon is intriguing because it uses a combination of daylight spectrum lighting and nature sounds that progressively increases in intensity. It wakes up me serenely instead of jarring me awake like the sudden noise from my old alarm clock. It helps me feel like I've awoken naturally rather than forcing my body to leave its sleep rhythm. Maybe it's impossible to measure exactly how useful this light has been, but ever since I've used it, my wife no longer wacks me awake with a pillow.

What a day for dirt-cheap computer deals! I mentioned the insanely low price of the desktop above, and now we have a Lenovo Intel Core i3 Laptop from eBay via Adorama for only $299! Unlike a desktop where you always want powerful components, with a laptop you trade power for mobility. Most people (myself included) won't do more than streaming 1080p video, occasional photo editing on Photoshop, maybe a casual online game or two, and a ton of web browsing. The Core i3 laptop is fully capable of handling these tasks. $300 is among the lowest prices I have seen for any Core i3 laptop, even on Black Friday. Factor in that this is a brand new Lenovo laptop with full 1-year Lenovo warranty and no tax for people outside of New York or New Jersey.

I recently purchased this Corsair Strafe Keyboard from eBay via Best Buy and I can unequivocally say that this is my favorite mechanical keyboard. What is my experience with keyboards you say? Right now I have the Cooler Master QuickFire Cherry MX Blue, Das Keyboard Cherry MX Brown, and Rosewill Cherry MX Red keyboards. Although all are great keyboards, they were too noisy (even the MX Browns). My office is in the bedroom, and silence is a priority when I'm working. The Cherry MX Silent keys on the Strafe are as quiet as you can get. Despite being fully mechanical, they are as quiet as my laptop-style Apple keyboard. The ONLY way to get this keyboard with the MX Silent keys is through Best Buy or Corsair ($30 more). The RGB backlighting is AWESOME as well (I made a short clip here)

If you own an Alienware 13, 15, or 17 laptop, you have access to what I consider to be the greatest laptop gaming accessory ever. The Alienware Graphics Amplifier is the bee's knees if you really want a true desktop-class gaming experience on your laptop. The Amplifier is a fully powered external chassis that can house a single full-sized desktop graphics card and connect it via proprietary cable to your Alienware laptop. The results don't lie either, this beast actually works. Users report compatibility with even GTX 980 TI video cards. This amplifier was tested over at PCMag and they gave it a full thumbs up in terms of performance. Their biggest issue? The price. Well they saw $300 and we see $230 AND a bonus $100 Dell eGift Card which basically drops the priced down to $130. Video card NOT included.
